When a wormhole (which hypothetically can connect widely-separated regions of space-time) is newly discovered, a team of explorers and scientists embark on a voyage through it to transcend previous limitations on human space travel.[2] The Hollywood Reporter said in addition to the official synopsis, "The plot is believed to involve time travel and alternate dimensions, but other details are being kept under wraps."

In April 2013, Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway were cast in the film's starring roles.[9] Director Christopher Nolan said he became interested in casting McConaughey after seeing him in an early cut of the 2012 film Mud.[10] Other well-known actors eventually joined what would become "an all-star cast".[11] Actor Irrfan Khan said he had to decline a role since he wanted to be in India for the releases of The Lunchbox and D-Day.[12] For the film's production, cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema was hired for Interstellar. Wally Pfister had been the cinematographer on all of Nolan's past films but was not available for Interstellar due to working on his directorial debut Transcendence.

Music

Hans Zimmer is doing the score, and Nolan had Zimmer do the base of hte score simply by writing on one page of paper what he wanted and letting Zimmer produce majority of the score straight from that paper and not any script release. I'm assuming Nolan wants something simplistic and the movie is said to be a slow-build up. Zimmer and Nolan plan to move away from the trilogy's scores and to come up with a unique one. Zimmer said, "The textures, the music, and the sounds, and the thing we sort of created has sort of seeped into other people's movies a bit, so it's time to reinvent. The endless string [ostinatos] need to go by the wayside, the big drums are probably in the bin.

An early script has been leaked on the net. The script was from 2008 and could be changed since then. I read it, I'm still interested in the movie highly.

Absolutely anticipating this movie over all others...

Do you still have a copy? If so I'd love to give that sucker a read..

I'm asking knowing how unlikely that is haha

[Meticode]

Highly agreed. It encompasses everything I like. Space, time, at this current time McConaughey is beasting in the acting area, Hathaway is a strong supporting actress, sprinkle in some Matt Damon. Zimmer is doing the soundtrack. Might be a big award winner Nolan finally deserves.

Ever since Following, I have absolutely loved all of his work. I appreciate his films' tone and cinematic maturity. I hope his new cinematographer produces work with the same type of dark intensity that all of Nolans' films display.

You can google it and find snippets of the script, also someone posted the whole split cut down in 16 parts, but major parts of the script have changed.

Semi-Spoilers below...

Basically I'll leave it at the Earth's crops are failing, a wormhole forms near earth because a neutron star gets sucked into blockhole(s), and they send a team through the wormhole. Major parts of the movie will take place after they go through the wormhole. This will incorporate time travel and multi-dimensional stuff...

[Meticode]

For those wanting more information on wormholes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

Also a major part of the movie is derived from Kip Thorne (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kip_Thorne)'s work who worked and was friends with Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking...

[ZeN]

Thanks for the info and quick synopsis. I'll probably Google around and see what's out there. It's good that the current script isn't out though cause I probably wouldn't be able to help myself. Back when Inglorious Basterds and Django's scripts were leaked I read them before the films came out. It really tainted my first view experience..lol

Probably a really small role for Damon, but doesn't hurt.

Is this going to be another mind**** movie where you don't know what just happened? Inception had me thinking for a whole week after seeing it. Hopefully this movie has that same effect.

Other than Days of Future Past this is the film I'm most looking forward to.

[riseagainst]

wow what a cast....

I'm so excited to see how he's going to visually describe space-time(travel).

I hope the trailers don't show much so we can all be surprised. I know I won't get to avoid it once the it comes out before the summer blockbusters.

Not seeing this, looks good but space movies scare the f*ck out of me

[Cowboy Thunder]

Music in trailer 2 was a let down to me.

Pretty uneventful trailer, but I like that. No doubt the movie will feature a lot more space time.

Can't wait. Can't say I've ever been as excited about a movie as this one. :bowdown:

Trailer #2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSWdZVtXT7E

Looks good!

[juju151111]

I hear that's stuff Is all in the first 20+ mins of the Film and the rest is space stuff/wormhole/aliens shit. Nolan is a god film director:applause:

[Derka]

Saw a trailer before Godzilla tonight. I'm f*cking there. Looks excellent.

[irondarts]

Looks fantastic. Can't wait.

[Im Still Ballin]

Matthew M will dominate

[KingBeasley08]

A buddy who's read the early version of the script said that the trailer didn't show any of the space shit which is like 70% of the movie

Every movie features space time man ;)

Excited for this but not thrilled about the "never meant to die here" line. We weren't meant to do anything... but I like the Murphy's Law tie in which kind of offsets it. It's not about what we are meant to do, it's simply about what we can do.

Yeah, this is confirmed by the plethora of people who have read the early script that leaked (supposedly, the ending from that script is different from the movie, though) ... also, one of the biggest characters will be a robot: the one that's shown for like one second in the trailer -- the "blocks" assembling with TARS written on it aboard the ship.

No doubt it will be Contact + 2001 ish .. holy fvck. It will be his sci-fi magnum opus. No more Inception wack ass sugar candy sci-fi. Time for the real stuff now.

Love the Eng Comp 1 essay poem in there :bowdown:

[Meticode]

Love the Eng Comp 1 essay poem in there :bowdown:
This movie will hit an emotional level with me. I went to a private Catholic school all of my school life until I graduated. And while I was taught the notion of God there, and I learned many other religions in high school through our Religions classes, but I never had a sustained belief in God. I've been shaped to believe that there's a higher power that governs what we perceive the universe to be, but I nor anyone should claim to know what it is because it's so far out of our stratosphere of understanding.

I think we should do what is morally right and what makes a normal person feel good at heart. Help people, love people, live through people to become the best version of yourself.

I think about space, time and life all the time. I think about what it means to do what we've done and if it really means anything that billions have lived and perished, or if it means everything when the last breathe is breathed.

How do you prove it isn't?

I'm with ya.

I have to say, I was a little disappointed with trailer 3.


Seeing the abandoned planet gave me a Prometheus vibe. The dual mountain range scene better not be undervalued like the great bent world shot from Inception was.

I'm as excited about this movie as any I've ever been, but I'm starting to get nervous it may let me down.

Contact had a soul to it.
2001 was a puzzle.

Can Interstellar be both? Or will it be a walk along (have training wheels) like Inception.

The only thing I'm expecting when I go into that movie theater is to be emotionally moved because my faith and beliefs wonder about the topic at hand in the movie. I think about these things all the time. Space, time, the cosmos, human interaction and love are all things that effect my life and thoughts.

I think about how we as people continue our ways seemingly turning a blind eye on how we affect our world and each other. Out of sight, out of mind. People are about saving the world, when in reality the world will be fine and will go on without us long after our last breath is breathed on this planet.

We need to concern ourselves with each other, being kind to one another, living through one another, becoming the best versions of ourselves and looking to the stars and pushing the limits to prolong all of mankind.

If it wasn't meant to be, then our understanding and progression to what we think we know now wouldn't exist. The only way to find out what we think we understand is true is to go out there and discover it.

I think about what happens when we die. Does all my memories and information that's stored in my brain just fade away into some sort of matter that is behind my understanding. Or does it proceed through the universe somehow to be used later on for something else? The one thing I feel I know is that we're all part of a wave. A wave of the cosmos that was set forth a long, long, long time ago. And each ripple each of us makes has a lasting effect in some circumstances. I can only hope my daughter and our next generation has a better understanding of our place in the cosmos better than I do.

is ready

[highwhey]

I can't remember ever being this excited about a film before. I've watched all the trailers and small clips, didn't see Matt Damon.

[FKAri]

This films reminds me of the Prometheus hype. Scifi is a genre with enormous potential coupled with a track record of many mediocre to terrible films.

I trust Nolan though, maybe more than Ridley Scott.

[DwnShft2Xcelr8]

I have completely avoided any previews, possible leaks of the script, all potential spoilers, short clips, commercials, etc., so when I go into watch this movie some time next week, I will be coming in with only a mild understanding of the synopsis.
I did this because I once read someone saying on Reddit that coming into a movie with no understanding of it, no previews ruining any scenes, no mild spoilers, etc., makes it a better experience. I've never tried it before, so hopefully it'll be worth the long wait for this movie.

[Shade8780]

Planning to see this on Saturday with three of my friends. Can't wait.

[eriX]

Big Hero 6 gonna shit on this movie

to kids under 12, yes.

[vapid]

Very disappointing. Lower your expectations.

[D-Rose]

Very disappointing. Lower your expectations.
Disagree. Saw it at an early screening in my parts. About 3 hours long, wasn't bored for a single second. The concept of the movie is really cool once they get into it and there's plenty of heartfelt moments. I can see how/why some won't like it, but thinking the majority of ISH will appreciate it.

[irondarts]

The consensus seems to be that it is very cool, but very dumb and silly and that the science is god awful and nonsense.

Still going to see it and I'm sure going to enjoy it, but probably disappointed.

Kinda disappointed having read this. The is the only film i have looked forward to in a while, plus Mathew just dominated in his most recent performances so i thought this would be just as great.

I like Tyson, but he needs to STFU sometimes and not come out like a douche. This movie is all based on theory. I'm sure he'll drag up some shit like "Oh this shouldn't of happened because gravity should do this to this."

He just can't help himself... plus now everyone will be expecting him to do it.

[D-Rose]

Is action adventure-y at all or does it take itself real seriously?
There were a lot of action scenes. The cinematography was absolutely breathtaking. Also, the science was there but it wasn't focused on that...more so on the plot and relationships.

Also, McConaughey is a god. Hathaway was solid as well.

Dude. How do you get basic shit about gravity wrong in A MOVIE ABOUT GRAVITY

[LJJ]

I just saw it at the Imax.

It was decent. Really good in some ways (some stunning shots in there, sets the mood really well), really mediocre in other ways (The dumbass robot, the pacing is off). The writing is melodramatic but gets the job done. McConnaughey is good in it.

BUT then the movie goes completely off the rails in the last two acts. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. This ending will go down in history as one the worst of all time.

[Meticode]

8/10

I liked the movie, some emotional parts. Premise of the movie is what I expected. If you broke the movie down in 4 parts, the 3rd part is kind of meh.

I almost walked out at the black hole sequence. Shockingly bad.

I didn't, I had an open mind. Not sure what you were expecting. Nolan can't please everyone. Especially when the main concept of the movie is based on theory. It's hard to perceive anything as you would expect.

Spoilers

I don't know man. I didn't expect the inside of the black hole to be his daughters bedroom. That's not related to any "theory", unless the theory you refer to is deus ex machina theory. And the way they visualized it, just awful. Then to top it off he magically gets saved from the black hole. It's hilarious, but this is not supposed to be a comedy.

And when I was watching, I thought the whole Matt Damon segment was already terrible and pulpy enough, and was going to be the low point of the movie for sure. Then Nolan just stacks on new, lower lows upon lows.

It's just beautifully shot, but in terms of writing more pulpy and ridiculous than the worst episodes of Star Trek. This sci fi ending will be even more legendarily bad than Signs or AI.

[D-Rose]

Dude you need to edit that last post into white text....

but yeah, I was fine with the ending. It's hollywood, not Bill Nye the Science Guy.

This began as anticipation thread not a spoiler filled thread. Typically Spoilers is in the headline if it's intended to be filled with them.

[embersyc]

The movie was bad.

There are plenty of high quality visuals, and a few edge of the seat moments, fine. It looks like a quality movie and is well acted, but overall the dialogue and plot are off. The movie jumps the shark in the third act and spoils whatever redeeming quality it had. Certainly the most disappointing Nolan movie to date.

[Cowboy Thunder]

Outstanding effort, but needed a little bit of tweaking.


The premise and plot were just terrific. The ending was fantastic.

My problem was the writing was an after-thought to the true mechanics and science of the film. I only wish it had the visuals of 2001 and the heart of Contact, but it tried admirably. It wasn't what I expected and that let me down at times, especially early. But it finished extremely strong.

I could have used some longer, sweeping shots. Too much time inside the spacecrafts and to little space time. Not enough iconic shots.

Still, that 5D > *

8.75/10.

[Cowboy Thunder]

That being said, IMAX was particuallry dissapointing and put me in a bad mood from the start.

Went to the best IMAX in the state and all of the movie previews were blurry (Furious 7, Avengers...looked BLURRFIC). The movie got a bit better, but IMAX was kinda overrated. Sound was great. Score was just right.

[Cowboy Thunder]

2001 still >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

[Swaggin916]

Saw it and really enjoyed it but... *Spoiler Alert*

























I still don't understand where the wormhole came from. They said it showed up as an anomaly 50 years ago... it was the only way the human race could be saved... where could it have come from if all the humans would have been dead without it being there in the first place? how could it have been put there? I haven't heard a good explanation to that yet and I have been looking.

[ThePhantomCreep]

Doesn't quite live up to its lofty ambitions (this film is aiming for greatness in damn near every shot) , but it's a terrific, entertaining, and well-acted film for the most part. Would watch again.

[I<3NBA]

answer in white text SPOILERS ofc

Humans from the future created the wormhole. McConaughey's character said it when he was stuck in limbo. "We brought ourselves."

All those gravitational anomalies, the wormhole appearing, and other such anomalies were created by humans in the future. to save themselves from being doomed on earth. even the limbo where McConaughey was trapped was created by them.

[EnoughSaid]

Wow. My initial reaction to seeing this was WTF. And WTF in a sense that this was a reallllly weird concept demonstrated in a movie.

- I thought the movie looked beautiful. The space sequences were all gorgeous, the interdemensional travel was awesome, and even the farming landscapes looked amazing.

- Matthew McConaughey is becoming one of the best actors of his generation. Everything he has touched in the last several years has been gold. His performance here was no different. That scene where he sits down to watch all the recordings of his son after escaping the water planet was INTENSE. Holy shit.

- Some of my quirks centered on the scientific aspect of this movie. The whole black hole stuff felt like a cop out.

Overall, I thought the movie wavered down towards the end and everything seemed to happen too quickly or without detailed explanation. Murph and the whole equation stuff was kind of done in a hurry.

I'd give it a 8.5/10. Great movie.

Favorite movie this year is still Dawn of the Planet of the Apes though. Cannot get over how amazing it was. Haven't seen Gone Girl or Nightcrawler though.

[Trollsmasher]

the inside black hole shit was soo retarded:facepalm

the shittiest deus ex machina in years

****ed up a pretty solid movie

best characters - CASE and TARS

6.5/10

edit: also **** Matt Damon

I'll be to the point. I came away from the movie with the understanding that humans are at their best when they throw themselves into something with love and discovery. That's the premise of the movie, that's the end of the movie when Cooper goes to find Brand.

I cried once during the movie, which was during the part where they come back from the first planet and only hours have passed on the planet, but literally decades passed on the space-ship because of the relation of the planet with the black-hole and the way it distorts time. The part that made me cry is the very first thing they do when they get back is check their video logs for family messages, and Cooper misses all those moments with his son, and eventually his son just lets him go. And Murphy still hasn't forgiven him after all those years. I can't imagine how lonely you feel if that were to happen.

If you go into the movie without an amateur understanding of space-time you might come out confused.

You have to go into the movie understanding that time is infinite and all points in time exist at the same time. Right now there is a version of myself typing this out. Somewhere else there's a version of me in my death bed.

If you don't understand that premise you'll have issues understanding the movie. "They" as they were referred to weren't aliens, but human beings in a future point in time that have gained the understanding of the five dimensions and how to harness them. The wormhole was opened up specifically so that Murphy and Cooper could have their occurrences in life the way they did so they could save humanity.

The black-hole scene I was fine with. I followed the notion that "They" constructed the singularity (The Tesseract) specifically for Cooper so he could have the experience he was having.

I greatly enjoyed the movie. I think the biggest part I didn't like was Matt Damon's part. It honestly came off like the movie Sunshine where you find a guy in space and he's gone completely bonkers trying to ruin the current mission.

Saw this last night.

****ing loved this movie. Sure it had plot holes, most time travel/space sci fi movies do. I didn't really try to nitpick it. I paid attention to the human drama. The emotion. If you did that, you will enjoy this movie. You have to connect on a deeper level, get meaning from the film.

It is like comparing LOTR to Interstellar. LOTR is more of a one night stand, not much meaning, but fun and visually stimulating. Interstellar is love. It is meaning. It is feeling. And the visuals compliment this beauty that is love.

Matthew M ****ing killed it. He made the film for me. His acting.

My rating?

I cried twice during the movie. Dual streams.

Therefore my ratings is: 4 out of 5 tears.

[Swaggin916]

answer in white text SPOILERS ofc

Humans from the future created the wormhole. McConaughey's character said it when he was stuck in limbo. "We brought ourselves."

All those gravitational anomalies, the wormhole appearing, and other such anomalies were created by humans in the future. to save themselves from being doomed on earth. even the limbo where McConaughey was trapped was created by them.

While I'm in total agreement that's what was explained in the movie (cus it was) It's impossible that humans could have created that wormhole when their very survival in the first place depended on it. Without that wormhole they are done. The only thing that would make sense is if humans didn't create it... cus everything else would line up fine. It's just such a huge paradox. We still had to make it to 5d first... See my issue here?

[Hotlantadude81]

All of that hype and it still got 2nd place. Second place is the first one to lose. :oldlol:

Seriously, I hate when these boring looking animated movies win... Because that means will get more of them. It sucks. I hate kids... Kids are just little bastards that grow up to be big bastards.

[mrpuente]

I love this movie. Watched it twice already. You have to be a real pretentious **** to sit thru over 2 hours of this movie and almost walk out at the black hole scene. This movie literally ties everything up for you in a nice little bow for you to take home and enjoy. Acting was amazing score was amazing visuals were spot on.

Couple of spoilers I guess..

Could you imagine being Romilli after waiting 23 years on that ship? I don't think it hit on how much of a changed man he would be after being by himself for so long with not much to hope for.

Also I understand how the wormhole wouldn't make sense if we left it for ourselves to save ourselves when we wouldn't have survived in the first place. I can live with that being unanswered.

I'm going to get the soundtrack when it comes out. Date is the 17th or 18th. Might get released on the internet before then. There' a leaked track from the score on YouTube. I think the song is at least part of the woman they played when he docked the ship to the Endurance when he was damaged. Great, climatic scene, showing the brilliance of humans when they throw themselves passionately into something against the odds. Which is part of the premise of the movie.

That scene was the emotional one for me. Coop comes back, almost dying on a planet in the middle of nowhere, knowing 23 years has passed and the first thing he thinks about is the video logs. At first being happy, then being sad because he's missed 23 years of his son's life, not seeing his grandchild. Then Murph has still not forgiven him for leaving after 23 years. I cannot imagine the emotions one would go through if they went on this kind of journey.


Also I understand how the wormhole wouldn't make sense if we left it for ourselves to save ourselves when we wouldn't have survived in the first place. I can live with that being unanswered.
This is one of the things people need to accept has a mystery with time. We don't fully understand how time works in all dimensions and how it warps and changes. It's all theoretical. The only explanation I can come up with is that time, all points of it are all existing somewhere. That's why things play out the way they do because all instances and choices you make will make you end up somewhere that's all already been pre-determined because of all the billions of variations that can occur in our lives.

The best example I can give to this is in the original movie Terminator. In the movie the machines send back a Terminator to kill John Connor's mother, Sarah Conner. The human's send back Reese to protector her. In the process Reese has sex with Sarah thus, impregnating her with John Connor. So in saying if the humans didn't send back Reese would she have gotten pregnant with John in the first place? It's a paradox we probably won't understand for some time if the theories of space-time are right.

Like I said, if you don't have a certain understanding about space-time before you go into the movie you might be disappointed or confused. I fully understand it, and the parts that were unknowing to me are fine that way, because honestly we don't know about somethings.

The movie connected to me because I am Agnostic. I believe there is a higher power that governs our lives, but I don't claim to know what it is, and I don't think we have a shred of true understanding of what is really known. I do however believe in love, and I believe our energy after we die just simply doesn't fade into nothing. All those memories, all those pains, all those times you were happy have to go somewhere instead of just fading away in the protein of your brain as your electrical impulses shut down when you die.

2001 still >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I can level a lot of criticisms against that film. The movie was a product of its time. It relied heavily on the spectacle of space visuals for a 1968 audience and the enthusiasm for space travel at the time. It relies on these tools to suspend the audience's logical analysis just long enough for the final act of the film. The movie ends with drawn out pointless acid trip followed by the excellent "aging" scenes and concludes with a giant wtf. Because obviously a movie probing such enormous questions cannot possibly have the answers to them. No matter one's interpretation of the allegory in the film it falls short in its final act.

[Patrick Chewing]

Very confusing movie in some parts, especially towards the end with the wormhole and trying to get back home.

The movie almost felt like Memento and Inception rolled into one. I guess I would have felt better about it had they reunited Coop and Murph while Murph was still young(er). I had a problem with that scene on her deathbed and how she just shooshed her father off so quickly. All the stories they must have to tell one another and they only talk for a minute....wtf?

[Trollsmasher]

Question: wasn't some physicist working with Nolan on the script? Because lots of the science stuff is visibly retarded even to someone like me. I wonder what people who actually understand that stuff think about it.

[Thorpesaurous]

I went Saturday afternoon. I found it really enjoyable, while having to acknowledge that it's kind of a mess. My thoughts:


I found this thing really emotionally moving. The girl who played young Murph was great. And it really sold the leaving scene, especially because for a three hour movie, that first act is pretty and undersold, yet that scene was pretty heartbreaking, and really set the tone moving forward.

I somehow avoided a cast list on this thing somehow, I'm really not sure how, but I think it helped with the periodic introduction of major characters being played by significant stars. And in addition to being significant stars, they all have pretty serious chops, which is good, because this movie hangs heavily on those performances. Jessica Chastain is spectacular. Casey Affleck is great. Ann Hathaway was excellent. Matt Damon was superb in his brief stint. And they all had to be, because without this thing gripping you emotionally, and being left to try to make sense of gibberish maguffins pushing the plot, and the heavy thematic stuff that often came off really clunky, you had some real problems, and I at least still had moments when that stuff poked through and really affected my ability to enjoy it. As has been mentioned, the passing of time sequence was incredibly powerfull. There are tons of reasons for that, one of which that I think is a bit overlooked is that the technical reasons for it were laid out so directly and plainly. One hour there equals seven years back home ... done. Then it's spelled out upon return by Romilly (who is played excellently by David Gyasi in a role that could've been swollowed whole by the presence of the other leads).

I felt the Damon stuff was played out exceptionally well too. It's extremely heavy handed (much of the film is) with it's thematic stuff about human nature's necessity for companionship. Any long walk where two characters are going that far in depth in conversation that sounds like something you'd hear in a college sophomore philosophy major at Vasser's dorm room with three buddies after an eight ball is bound to be problematic. Again, the strength of the performances held it together just enough for me, combined with the phenomonal visuals.

Visually it was at times completely stunning. I loved the broad space shots. Their slingshot across the face of Saturn for example. The landing on the first planet. Matt Damon's planet, especially some of the wide shots there. The docking sequence after leaving Damon's planet, even the initial docking sequence, of which they make that point of showing the proper lock on mechanism, which is just good filmmaking. A lot of that was really beautiful stuff. I also thought the first act Americana stuff with the Dust Storms was really well done. And use of the Inception (a flick I didn't like as much as many people) stuff to do the closing multidimensional baseball game was cool.

I also really enjoyed all the robots. I thought they were really well voiced. They provided some nice comic spots. Served as a nice mechanism for processing some of the technical stuff that otherwise would've been too much to handle. And I thought they were really well animated.

The soundtrack was also spot on. Emotionally swelling and having a certain cool distance at other times.

It lost itself in a few spots. One I thought was the tone. It's really all over the place. I liked the juxtaposition between the vast otherworldliness of the voyage versus everything happening back home in which the entire survival of the human race is painted onto a map of a town that appears to have one street connecting salt of the earth farming baseball loving community to the remnents of NASA, but the two settings felt like they were directed by different people. Earth felt like a tribute to a Speilberg movie. The small things leading to big results. And of course a lot of the bigger space stuff feels like some more high minded Kubrick stuff. Although the sort of spelling out of some of the broad themes has sort of a Speilberg quality to it. There's also some technical stuff that was all over the place too. Someone in here complained about the pacing, which is an issue, but since it's three hours, there are bits that are brilliant. I thought the editing at the end sequence with the bouncing from the tense space side to the even tenser earth farm fire sick kid segment was a really great scene.

Both the heavy handed thematic stuff, and the technical science stuff, absolutely hurt this thing. And sometimes it hurt it badly. The speech from Anne Hathaway proposing the Edwards planet was the place to go because of "Love" was bordering on cringeworthy. And in less competant hands, it would've been. Love being a force that transcends time and space and so on and so forth was just really really tough to listen to, particularly coming from this hyper rational character. And honestly it felt like it helped to me when we got to see toward the end that she was wrong. Also the extended dialogue these poor guys had to give trying to explain the hows and whys of flying across the face of this black hole would let them transmit "data" back home that would allow them to solve this "equation that will solve the issue of gravity" was just non-sensical. I have no problem suspending my belief for the sake of story, but it too often felt like these poor guys were trying to hard to convince themselves. All the dialogue could've been simplified and it would've allowed the audience to simply grab it and come to terms with it. The more they tried to explain it, the less sense it made, and the more it felt like the movie had turned into a prick trying to explain his doctoral thesis to his drunk buddy from high school who's only visiting to try and get laid. We get it ... you're smart ... let me go back looking around here. So overall, I felt the technical stuff they went too far into, and the emotional thematic stuff they left too generic. Go figure.

And as for the last act. I was not a huge fan. Personally I felt like they bit off a little more than they could chew in trying to represent a >3 Dimensional space than they were able to do. And I'm ok with the time existing all at once on many different planes (although it creates all kinds of problems with free will, and begs the question of why not go back in time many years earlier and try to save the planet rather than plot out this eleborate escape, I mean if this were really possible, why would anything bad ever happen? ... but again, that's all fine with me). It was just all a little too neat. And the fact is, the thing could've ended with a huge theme sacrifice. Cooper drops into the black hole to ... I don't know ... manually run Tars in there, gets the "data" that resolves the equation, and everyone is able to join lovely Dr. Bran on the planet she found via true love. It could've worked. It would've cut things shorter and given the audience less time to question things, it would've put the heavy handed thematic stuff at the front of your mind instead of garbled multi-dimensional stuff. They would've had to have re-jiggered the book case stuff, which honestly came off as a little too cute for my taste. But something like the love of the dead mother would've tied into the ghost stuff, and tied the love theme back into that end of the movie. It would've had the love driving the science, that inspired spark that leads to thought, could've been a more consistent theme then trying to reconcile both things at once.


So it's scoring in the mid 70s on the tomatometer, and in this case I can see where this is a movie for which that methodology just won't work. There's too much here. Too much to not understand. Too much to be frustrated by. Too many things that could be fatal flaws. At the same time it's so emotionally gripping in spots, and so visually excellent, that I can also see people overlooking some of what are definitely problems in it. So in a system that just aggregates good and bad opinions, it can't really reconcile a 3 hour movie that has entire sequences that are some of the best stuff I can remember, and other parts that would've been edited out of a ScyFy original script. I would give it a mid 80s at this point. It really warrants more viewing. I do worry that there are other movies that the whole world fell for that rely a lot on emotional connection, that over time have fallen apart a bit (Forrest Gump comes to mind, as something that yielded this huge connection that allowed the audience to look past some really flawed stuff, but after two decades of rewatching, the emotional impact wears off and you have a mentally challenged guy running a shrimp boat for forty minutes). I really liked this in the moment, but if you told me you hated it I'd be fine with it, and if you told me this was one of your 10 favorite movies ever I'd be okay with it. It takes that wide a breath in my opinion.

[KyrieTheFuture]

Pre Matt Damon appearing was a 9 and literally everything. EVERYTHING. After he woke up was awful.

[Rolando]

I liked it and thought it was excellent. 9 out of 10.

[step_back]

I liked it and thought it was excellent. 9 out of 10.

A 9! Really? :wtf:

I thought this film was at best a 6/10. As the film progressed they tossed all logic out the window and it became a convoluted mess. It was riddled with contradictions and painfully tight roped an emotional story which as others have said concluded rather nonchalantly. The reconciling between Cooper and Murph was in my eyes a pivotal part of the film and it came off almost comical. You can leave now Dad because I'm about to die but at least I'm with my family....BURNED!

This film is going to be another "Intellectuals" film. Sure you can enjoy it for being a spectacle but most people will only say they understood it because they want to be perceived as intelligent.

[mrpuente]

Lol this was one of the easiest films to understand. Seeing as you know they explained everything in the film for you. All you have to do is listen and watch. Maybe some of you didn't like it because you lost interest because you simply aren't into sci fi flicks, and that's okay.

I thought my wife wouldn't like it after almost dozing off in the first act, but after that great cinematography moment when coop is driving away from his farm and his daughter is running after him, and your heart is in your throat. She was hooked.

I didn't find the film convoluted or confusing. I really got caught up in the father daughter dynamic and felt the dieing earth theme was powerful too. We really had quite a different experience it seems.

Like inception... yes i agree it could be a bit hipsterish, but for someone like me who does understand basically all the concepts and terminology it's a great stab at some really interesting conceptual stuff. Nolan doesn't waste huge budgets on a bunch of fluff and bullshit... he really does his best to try and please everyone but always deals with deep subjects. I did have questions coming out of the movie though even though I already have a good deal of understanding about the cosmos and the way it works, and that to me is awesome. I had to delve deeper to try and understand it... I wanted to delve deeper. I know I represent a small minority that would actually do that for a movie, but I really appreciate movies that create that... especially those like these that are basing everything on actual facts and then using creative license for areas that aren't understood.

[Myth]

As I said in the rate the last movie thread:

One scene pretty much ruined the movie for me. Usually that is pretty hard to do, but it is the most vital scene in the movie and resonates throughout the whole thing. I also found the movie extremely predictable. I don't mind predicting parts of movies way in advance at times as long as the reveal is done well, but that was not the case in this film. Sadly, those 10 minutes killed the other 2.5 hours of good film for me. Probably my least favorite Nolan film.

6/10

[Myth]

Hahaha this sounds dum as fvk fvk this movie

Exactly.

[step_back]

explain to us what the contradictions and irrational logic were pls

They put the black whole there 42 years ago for us to find. We can't travel back in time but we can travel into the future. Turns out the black hole was put there by humans who I guess traveled back in time. If we're capable of putting things for our futures selves to find in the 5th Dimension surely you would just put a cure there for the earth as well.

Anytime something needed explaining that had no root in logic it turned into a film of anthropomorphising. I don't mind letting science fiction take over but for a film that takes on some lofty concepts I don't want all logic thrown out the window like the last 20 minutes were. The sheer amount of things that were done in Interstella are not possible. The fact that you can't even travel through wormholes in the first place is a pretty big flaw however I was willing to let that slide. What I wasn't letting slide was the fact that when Cooper went back through the wormhole his ship was torn to pieces but his little space suit was perfectly fine. He ejected mid flight for **** sake and carried out the mission and saved the world. Love also pulled him in the right direction and the monologue from Anne Hathaway half way through the film was lol worthy. We don't understand what it is and why it has a gravitational pull on us. Love is just a chemical reaction in the brain and nothing more. Considering these are some of the most intelligent people you'd think they would know that.

Now you can explain why the film makes perfect sense in particular the last 20 minutes.

P.S I'm negging you simply for wasting my time. Enjoy the film by all means but don't ask me why a film that is completely filled with broscience, plot holes and irrational logic and a nonsensical ending needs to be explained.

Here's your logic so far.
Requesting not to be asked about why you rated the film the way it was when you gave no explanation to your rating.
Then you proceed to answer my question despite you thinking it would be a waste of time.
Then you neg me for wasting your time thinking that rep means or affects me at all.

I'm actually glad your time was wasted since you are obviously not much of a decent human being. I actually think I did a favour for the rest of the planet for wasting your time. Not sure if I'm bothered to reply with facts as you have no knowledge in science from what you perceived as illogical, so therefore I'm not sure what I explain to you will matter cause you are probably too dumb to comprehend.

1) Here's my original post with the explanation as to why I gave it a mediocre rating dummy. As the film progressed they tossed all logic out the window and it became a convoluted mess. It was riddled with contradictions and painfully tight roped an emotional story which as others have said concluded rather nonchalantly. The reconciling between Cooper and Murph was in my eyes a pivotal part of the film and it came off almost comical.

2) It's was a waste of my time because anyone with a high school diploma will tell you that traveling back in time like they did in the film is not possible. They even said it in the film. We can go into the future but we can't go into the past and change it.......even though they do. HUGE CONTRADICTION.

3) In order to wrap up the film McConaughey becomes the omnipotent force of the film who despite never having been in the 5th dimension could perfectly navigate it.

4) I challenged you to explain why you think this film is logical, instead of actually posting your answer you simply revert to the "Oh you wouldn't understand anyway" which is not an argument but is in fact an excuse.

Mr Logical wouldn't jump to a conclusion as to what I'm like in real life by what I posted on a message board. "Obviously you're not a decent person". :facepalm :roll:

1) You said they tossed logic out the window but never gave what logic you were talking about till the next post. If you count that as an explanation that okay, fine with me. :roll:

Now to the logic part since you are still kind of retarded.

The film was produced based on consultancy with physicist Kip Thorne, in which the 'logic' of this film is pretty much based off. I'd assume Kip is smarter than you and have more knowledge in that field. Neil deGrasse had also commented on Interstellar stating it's roots in reality in terms of physic.

They did state in the film you cannot travel back in time, but if you knew anything about the space time dimensions you would know that time is continuous and as such whoever opened the worm hole is not from the same universe as the setting of the story. They never went back in time because they are not from the same timeline nor universe as it is not possible for time as we know it to co-exist with different timelines in the same observable universe.

Hopefully that is not too much to understand so far.

Therefore every time, time travel occurs, they are not traveling into the same universe back in time but onto a different universe (assuming that multiverses exist) with the same settings. Alternatively, the beings of the future could manipulate more dimensions that we have not discovered yet hence they might have to ability to alter the space dimension and open up wormholes throughout time.

Now onto the third point. Our knowledge of this universe is very minimal compared to what is actually out there, we probably know less than 95% of what the actual universe is all about. So from the point that McConaughy enters the black hole, there is no 'facts' as we know that governs that story. There is no logic to whatever is inside the black hole cause whatever exist inside will be way beyond anything we could ever imagine, like when humans thought the Earth was flat. For all we know whatever happened in the black hole could actually be true and whatever can happen will happen, if you had listened throughout the movie and their reinforcement of Murphy's law you would've understood. Anyhow, you've already established the fact that humans of the future in a different universe set the construct or whatever specifically for McConaughy's character to figure out, so I'd imagine them being humans themselves would know how to make it understandable for others.

I don't understand where you got the 'fact' that you can't travel through wormhole. I do agree the love thing was cringeworthy, I cringed a little. But what they were trying to say was that love even with the slightest influence can affect how people function and their thoughts. Not that hard to grasp.

Another point. Love does have chemical/hormonal functions to release hormones such as dopamine to indicate when we have identified mates and such. However Love does go deeper than the release of hormones to regulate mating. Releases of hormones does not explain everything that happens when you are 'in love' but I guess you knew that already.

Your turn.

[riseagainst]

A 9! Really? :wtf:

I thought this film was at best a 6/10. As the film progressed they tossed all logic out the window and it became a convoluted mess. It was riddled with contradictions and painfully tight roped an emotional story which as others have said concluded rather nonchalantly. The reconciling between Cooper and Murph was in my eyes a pivotal part of the film and it came off almost comical. You can leave now Dad because I'm about to die but at least I'm with my family....BURNED!

This film is going to be another "Intellectuals" film. Sure you can enjoy it for being a spectacle but most people will only say they understood it because they want to be perceived as intelligent.

It's ok. You are too simple minded to understand such a sophisticated masterpiece. 98% of the things in the film are either factual or theoretical in the science world. Too hard of a concept for you to grasp.

[step_back]

1) You said they tossed logic out the window but never gave what logic you were talking about till the next post. If you count that as an explanation that okay, fine with me. :roll:

Now to the logic part since you are still kind of retarded.

The film was produced based on consultancy with physicist Kip Thorne, in which the 'logic' of this film is pretty much based off. I'd assume Kip is smarter than you and have more knowledge in that field. Neil deGrasse had also commented on Interstellar stating it's roots in reality in terms of physic.

They did state in the film you cannot travel back in time, but if you knew anything about the space time dimensions you would know that time is continuous and as such whoever opened the worm hole is not from the same universe as the setting of the story. They never went back in time because they are not from the same timeline nor universe as it is not possible for time as we know it to co-exist with different timelines in the same observable universe.

Hopefully that is not too much to understand so far.

Therefore every time, time travel occurs, they are not traveling into the same universe back in time but onto a different universe (assuming that multiverses exist) with the same settings. Alternatively, the beings of the future could manipulate more dimensions that we have not discovered yet hence they might have to ability to alter the space dimension and open up wormholes throughout time.

Now onto the third point. Our knowledge of this universe is very minimal compared to what is actually out there, we probably know less than 95% of what the actual universe is all about. So from the point that McConaughy enters the black hole, there is no 'facts' as we know that governs that story. There is no logic to whatever is inside the black hole cause whatever exist inside will be way beyond anything we could ever imagine, like when humans thought the Earth was flat. For all we know whatever happened in the black hole could actually be true and whatever can happen will happen, if you had listened throughout the movie and their reinforcement of Murphy's law you would've understood. Anyhow, you've already established the fact that humans of the future in a different universe set the construct or whatever specifically for McConaughy's character to figure out, so I'd imagine them being humans themselves would know how to make it understandable for others.

I don't understand where you got the 'fact' that you can't travel through wormhole. I do agree the love thing was cringeworthy, I cringed a little. But what they were trying to say was that love even with the slightest influence can affect how people function and their thoughts. Not that hard to grasp.

However Love does go deeper than the release of hormones to regulate mating. Releases of hormones does not explain everything that happens when you are 'in love' but I guess you knew that already.

Your turn.

1) If they're not from the same Universe or time what knowledge would "they" have of our struggles on Earth. It was Coop himself who saved humanity in the 5th dimension. That means his future self was his own savior. He does say "they" is actually "we". Not exact words but the general gist. If "we" are capable of communicating in the 5th dimension surely we're capable of fixing problems on Earth for our 3rd dimensional cousins. We can travel to different Universes but dammit we can't figure out how to keep your corn growing. :rolleyes:

2) The wormhole took them into another galaxy. I didn't think it took them into another Universe. If so how did the humans (3rd dimension) invent a technology that was capable of sending signals across different Universes. Serendipity? Seems too convenient.

3) Love really is just a chemical reaction in the brain. To suggest it has any kind of gravitational like pull which is capable of traveling between universes is ludicrous. For a film which takes on bold scientific theories perhaps I feel let down at the melodramatic ending.

http://www.space.com/27701-interstellar-movie-science-black-holes.html Just because they had some physicist's on board that doesn't make Interstella a logical film. People claiming it makes perfect sense and is perfectly logical are misinformed. This film does contradict itself.

[LJJ]

The scientific logic behind the movie isn't the terrible part, it's the other logic. It's science fiction, it's not supposed to be completely true to scientific theory. A lot of actual scientific concepts are intriguingly portrayed in the film, this is true. It's the storytelling that just takes an atrociously bad turn.

There are some mediocre bits of storytelling throughout the movie (a bit too cookie-cutter sentimental at times), but it just becomes uniformally bad once they go to the second planet.

First with Anne Hathaway going all "Oooooh, actually we have to take a massive detour to THIS planet because the guy on it is SOOOO CUUUUUTE!!!!! I know all of humanity is going to die a horrific death but whatevs". I mean, what the hell? How out of character, and completely broken in the context of the movie up to that point was that sequence. They spent the entire movie up to that point building up what a giant sacrifice everybody is making and how this is the last chance for all of humanity, and then suddenly this hyper intelligent super-scientist who is supposed to save the planet wants to put everything at risk over puppy love. It's ridiculous. If that's the story you want to tell, you have to build towards it.

Another big one that has been pointed out is the reunion with father and daughter. Dude went through hell to save his daughter, and the whole theme how he sacrifices everything to save his daughter and she kind of hates him for it dominates the story. The conclusion to that is "I knew it was you! Thanks dad! Now GTFO so I can spend time with my family".

And those are not the only instances. After Anne Hathaway turns from a brilliant scientist into a 12 year old girl the movie starts to stack the bad storytelling execution scene after scene.


That's the logic that is bad. Not the science behind it. The way they use time travel in the context of the story telling is terrible. And I liked the movie. I'd still give it a 7/10 easily. It has a lot going for it. But boy did they do some terribly dumb things too.

Well I already mentioned that one. :lol Terrible.

[plowking]

I didn't really really like the abruptness, and the somewhat convenience of the ending, but some acting like they have a perfect grasp as to what is possible scientifically are just pompous assholes... :oldlol:
Not to mention is its a science fiction movie. That is what makes the movie possible and interesting. And like said, with the fact we know so little, who is to say what is and isn't possible.

I thought it was a great movie outside of the corny scene with Matt Damon. I burst out laughing while the rest of the cinema looked on seriously. Got a few people turn their heads at me to see what the fuss was about. I was just like, seriously? Are you watching? :oldlol:

Anyway, good movie. People go in expecting too much with these types of films in terms of clarity and perfect resolution. The movie asks some of the biggest questions known to mankind, which there clearly aren't answers to, and you're upset it doesn't answer them? It's whatever to me.

9/10 for me. Favourite movie I've seen so far. Will have to watch Fury soon though, that looks good too.

1) If multiverses exist then that means there technically would be infinite number of multiverses, as such due to the probability of infinity there would be one universe where Earth had no such problems and had being able to advance to great technological heights without troubles. He says we in recognition to the fact it wasn't some alien being that was trying to save them but it was humans. Your 'logic' of if they are technological capable of communicating through dimension does not mean they can actually send people back and tell them how to stop whatever disaster they were having. Your logic doesn't apply in something we have no knowledge of so I don't understand why you keep trying to use 'logic' to understand dimensions we don't even know about yet.

2) I never said the wormhole took them to another universe? Where did the humans of current talk with people from different universes? I don't understand where are you getting this part from...

3) I'm not suggesting it isn't, I'm merely suggesting that there could be more to Love than mere chemicals because we haven't even understood the full functions of the human brain and how it works yet.

4) Your link... I'm not sure what that was for? The film probably does contradict itself on some terms, but the science and theory behind the film is almost 100% accurate.

I just got back from seeing this on IMAX. I give it an 8.5/10. Better then The Dark Knight Rises but not better then any of his previous work.

As for plot holes and the science behind it. Don't bother. It's hollywood, these guys don't have PhD's in Physics. The concepts they did talk about were interesting, but it hurt the movie at the end of the day. It got too convulated and the climax was too CONVENIENT :roll: He ejects OUT of his ship. Slips into the tesseract. Saves the day. And gets saved by a space station near Saturn :roll:

I effin loved watching this in IMAX though. Going through the worm hole reminded me a lot of Contact by Robert Zemeckis with Jodie Foster starring in the 1990s. The first planet they landed on with the tidal wave was amazing in imax.

After trying to tie up all the loose ends, the only valid conclusion I can come to is what you are saying with parallel universes... anything that can happen, has already happened (which is what they might have been getting at with that saying). If you look at that way, everything makes sense including why they would help them.

Just seen it and it's a waste of time. I am reviewing this after watching a ripped copy of it on another site so some of the dialogue was hard to understand because of echo.

I am glad I didn't pay for this and I tried to like the movie because it is a Nolan film. I didn't know who the cast were besides Matty Mac but it was :facepalm especially seeing that it was Nolan and his clique of actors, Alfred and Catwoman. It felt like their little circle were trying to be hipsters of movie-making and tried to impress us with some sci-fi nerd talk in hopes of making it great with good acting. It was a cluster **** of a movie.

This movie did not seem to operate on the theory of a multiverse. His events directly impacted the events earlier in the movie. Nothing he did with his time travel changed anything. The gravity he altered late in the movie was already altered earlier in the film.

This part was so rushed that I don't know why they put it in the movie. I know there was supposed to be closure with father and daughter, but those were his grandkids and great-grandkids in there too. It would have been better if they would have just reunited him with the Jessica Chastain version of Murph instead of her on her deathbed.

Either way, my point stands that this movie does not seem to operate on the theory of a multiverse. Seems to be 1 timeline that just has loops stuck in it rather than 1 in which you can make a new timeline and change the past.

[nightprowler10]

I should've said that the middle part is confusing to me. The rest makes perfect sense. Though I must say I didn't think Cooper station was built that early in the timeline. What's the basis of thinking that?

[9erempiree]

It was a horrible movie for being as hyped as it was. It's a pretentious movie with a fancy sci-fi theme mixed in with big time actors.

Nolan's dialogue is full of nerdy philosophical gibberish. The characters never seem to talk to each other rather they just ramble incoherently. Same with the Batman crap too.

[9erempiree]

Also, I am an intellectual and I didn't like how the movie tried to explain everything to me. I am smart enough to already know how space, time and dimensions work. They kept explaining to the audience and Matty Mac even drew a picture of things. It was getting pathetic.

Everyone knows god damn well that nobody talks like Nolan's dialogue in real life.

I am glad I watched it on a "rip" because I didn't get influenced by the visuals or the fluff, like those that watched on IMAX.

Hated the ending. Should have ended it with him lost in space awaiting his death after launching Brand. He should have miraculously reestablished contact with Cooper Station and received a a message(from 50 years before) from his daughter at age 40~ saying she will never give up on him. Then he should have sent her a message saying he was alive. She then sends him another message immediately, at age 90-100, saying she figured out the equation and ended up sending a ship full of people to the planet Brand was on and that she never quit believing because her daddy said she would see him again and that him shooting Brand to that planet was the only reason humanity survived as it was colonized when they arrived. He sends her one more message saying he loves her and only did it to save her life. He then dies, the end.

Although I enjoyed the movie overall, this is true. To be fair, Nolan has to appeal to a wide audience, so it's kind of necessary to 'dumb down' certain bits of dialogue. It was a bit much, though.

[eriX]

This movie did not seem to operate on the theory of a multiverse. His events directly impacted the events earlier in the movie. Nothing he did with his time travel changed anything. The gravity he altered late in the movie was already altered earlier in the film.

The thing is time travel wouldn't work unless there's multiple universes as the moment you alter the past, the butterfly effect will begin and the universe will not be the same again.

How I see it is that once the wormhole is put in place, it spawns a new universe with the exact same events leading up to it. This group of universes would have not yet discovered fully how to deal with the wormhole and such, and there would have to be multiple tries until one universe gets it right and effectively use the wormhole and discover the sequence of events that Coop goes through to change the past. Once this chain of events is continued and humans live on, then there will be a loop of the future humans understanding what happened that led them to their survival and repeating the same actions to ensure the survival of the human race.

That's based on my understanding of the universe and space travel, might be wrong but yeah.

I have a question about this movie after watching it yesterday.
I get that Matthew McConaughey is the "ghost," and him + the robot are who everyone keeps referring to as "they," but if the two of them are "they" then who placed the fckin wormhole near Saturn?
Is that supposed to be part of the 5th dimension Matthew & the robot find themselves in? Someone please explain.

I'm pretty sure Coop + whoever the robot is, are using "they" as the pronoun for humans as a whole, in which "they" would be those from the future.

Bravo. This would've worked fine for me. It would've been the more straightlaced, conservative manner in which to finish it, but the thing took enough big thematic swings that it really didn't need to push it further with the fifth dimension bookshelf thing for me at all.

You have to go into the movie understanding that time is infinite and all points in time exist at the same time. Right now there is a version of myself typing this out. Somewhere else there's a version of me in my death bed.

Well I suppose they could have picked another point in time... but the whole point is that he was manipulating gravity to drop books off the shelf to send a code that Murph actually believed in the first place was a code. He couldn't just pass a note through it or do anything else besides manipulate gravity. That's all he could do. He could have knocked over the entire bookshelf he wanted but that wouldn't have been useful.

However, the rest of the movie was fantastic. I would still give it an 8 and probably a 9.5 if they had a better ending than that 5th dimension shite.

My issue is that so much of the central plot hinged on that scene because it permeates the rest of the movie because of the "ghost" stuff at the beginning setting everything in motion. If it were just 1 bad scene, I could dismiss it more easily, but the 1 scene impacts the rest of the movie.

You all crapped on this movie so much I decided to read through the spoilers, guess the plot is not a strength of this film so spoilers won't matter anyway. On another note Nolan has strayed too far from his roots, wish he'd go back to portraying mere mortals on earth.

[ROCSteady]

Who saw it on IMAX? If not, you fuked up

I saw it IMAX, it was 19 dolla but it was one at the theaters, not at like a science center. So, not true IMAX, I believe

[Meticode]

Soundtrack was leaked about an hour ago. It's by Hans Zimmer, lots of organs (different than his usual stuff). Good listen

[ROCSteady]

The score was best utilized when they were launching. That shit was incredible

[Swaggin916]

I understand what he was doing, so not sure why you are explaining it to me. My point is that is a stupid scene to begin with to design a movie around.

Well how else was he supposed to do it? If the whole thought is that Gravity can transcend dimensions what would have pleased you? If you think it's stupid fine you do, but I cant imagine you find the concept stupid so how else would you have written it? So many people hating on that scene and I can't figure out why other than they don't like the idea of a bookshelf having such a huge role. I bet if it was something cooler you all wouldn't be complaining.

I'd rather Nolan not waste his time making the movie if he couldn't find a way to make it not stupid. If a gun is to my head though, I say remove the ghost/5th dimension stuff completely and make the movie about him sacrificing all the time to save the planet than communicating across time through gravity in a black hole book shelf that he miraculously teleports out of. Also, it is stupid that the premise is based on gravity being the only thing that transcends dimensions, yet somehow the future humans sent back that whole 5th dimensional room for McConaghey anyway.

Fair enough. One of the main messages of the movie though is pioneering... and while if it did what you suggest, sure it would still be a cool movie, but it wouldn't take any risks... plus there would need to be a new explanation for the wormhole... or it would just be unexplained.

Here's my review if you guys wanna check out my thoughts.

I would post it in the thread but its a tad lengthy. I remember reading Travers' film reviews in Rolling Stone.

Didn't really discuss too many specifics of the plot, more an overview of why it connected with me.

That track is called "Stay". It's a slow build up from when he's talking to Murphy about leaving.

Good read.

[ROCSteady]

LMAO do it. I would read it.

[Rake2204]

The movie was an interesting and entertaining experience.

I came in willfully ignorant, no trailers or information - the gif someone posted in here earlier is all I saw beforehand.

I think Thorp was right on with his Spielberg comparison in some regards. I wasn't expecting the non-space aspects to feel so formulaic. The whiz kid and the bully brother and the cranky grandfather and the do-it-all smart guy rugged dad... I thought that part of the movie was going to be a little more original. I also actually did not much care for John Lithgow's performance, for what it's worth.

I was fascinated with a lot of the movie. Contrary to popular belief, I actually felt they did a good job on the space side. If I were a astro-physicist, perhaps I would not be able to sit through the film, just as I struggle to watch Woody Harrelson throw down lobs in White Men Can't Jump. However, being science fiction, I was able to more or less resign myself to, "Welp, none of this could really ever happen or make sense, but let's pretend and enjoy the ride." The ride was pretty good.

I wasn't particularly transfixed with much of the acting. Perhaps this was due to the dialogue and certain parts of the tone for which I did not much care for.

I did like the score though. I'm not usually a huge Hans Zimmer guy, but his execution seemed unique this time around, and it complemented the film very well in my opinion.

Overall, I'm glad I saw it. It was imperfect, and I'm uncertain if I'd want to see it again, but it was quite enjoyable nonetheless.

[Swaggin916]

How in the name of everything... are you not much of a Hans Zimmer guy??????

That's like not being a fan of a massage by a perfect 10 followed up with a blowjob, intercourse, and a wank at the end.

[9erempiree]

That track is called "Stay". It's a slow build up from when he's talking to Murphy about leaving.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9ex4Lrafig

One thing I didn't like is the music in the background all throughout the fist act. It was only when they got to space they finally cut the crap.

[Rake2204]

How in the name of everything... are you not much of a Hans Zimmer guy??????Yeah, if there was a "Unpopular Opinions" thread, I'm sure that tidbit would be fitting there.

I don't usually have an issue with Zimmer at all. His scores suit movies well, but they haven't always been interesting to me. Maybe it's a case of his scores fitting too well sometimes, where it's like, "Alright, here's this part of the movie, and here's the music that would accompany a part like this" - like it might be a little too predictable sometimes.

Of course, as I say that, I'm looking at his discography and it's clearly so rich that I'm sure to like a number of things he does (the eery wailing of The Dark Knight, one one).

I think I just tend to have generalized connotations about him, "Oh, here comes a big movie and oh, whaddya know, a Hans Zimmer score alongside meant to make it seem even bigger." That's a good thing in a way, but I haven't often been moved to listen to his work on my own very much. Perhaps conversations like this will help change my mind.

[Meticode]

He did do a good job with the Interstellar score. Pretty different than the stuff he usually does.

Yea man If you haven't yet, take a listen to his Last Samurai... absolutely beautiful soundtrack. I personally just think with Zimmer though, everything he does just makes it more Epic. Everything John Williams does makes it more magical. Everything Danny Elfman makes it more cooky... It seems as though most great composers, while capable of doing pretty much anything, find their niche and run with it.

[bagelred]

Got to be honest. The trailer does NOT look good at all. The effects are pretty primitive.

I would be fine with either "We found a wormhole" or "We have invented the ability to make a wormhole."

I also actually did not much care for John Lithgow's performance, for what it's worth.


I hadn't thought about it till now, but I was so neutral on his performance. It wasn't good, it wasn't bad, it was just there, which is surprising to me because he usually stands out to me.

[ROCSteady]

His character still represented an important concept/ structure though

Caine just repeated the whole "don't go quietly into the night" thing.

The black guy died when Mann's robot blew up.

Interesting read on interstellar
http://www.nerdist.com/2014/11/rust-cohle-already-explained-the-ending-of-interstellar/


that was the same conclusion I came up with

with the only other possible interpretation that, in which according to the movie, since Cooper woke up probably about 80 years later.

he traveled in time through half of a circle, with a linear timeline.

which could go with the sphere idea. because instead of it being a "complete" flat circle, the dotted line of incomplete circle, in which time is bent, is also what causes the re-occurring of events without the conscious idea or memory of it.

that would be part of exploring the 4th and 5th dimension of course

breaking away from where the timeline would be perpetual of a circle in its repeated motion until all event has occurred, and the event/person/time is "spit out" by the worm hole 80 years later

[Fawker]

This movie is a certified classic. just wow.

[BigBoss]

This movie is a certified classic. just wow.

The plot was ridiculous for it to be a classic. The science was very cool.

Took my brother to see this movie for his birthday and I was blown away by Interstellar. Nolan delivers again. 9.5/10.

Didn't really discuss too many specifics of the plot, more an overview of why it connected with me.


Here's my review for the guys who saw it recently and wish to ruminate on the greatness

[D-Wade316]

People saying this is his lowest film, comparable to Insomnia, are fools. Interstellar is amongst his best. Nolan can't seem to do no wrong for me, at this point. Damn.

My only criticism about this movie is the editing. For an epic sized production, it felt a little claustrophobic at times. Nolan didn't allow some shots or scenes to breath. The sound was fine at all. I had trouble with the dialogue at times(I always have this problem whenever I watch a movie) because of the southern accent, but never to a point where I couldn't completely understand what they're saying.

That's just for now. I'll go deeper to the character analysis later.

[Jasi]

*SPOILERS*

My main "logic" issues with the movie:

- why da fvck would anyone send negative feedback about their planet, only to put a cross on their own tomb. Mann's behaviour was completely predictable. Real-world NASA would never plan such a naive program.

- those video messages from Earth could never reach Endurance after the wormhole transfer.

- I can accept that since future humans have mastered gravity, they can let Cooper not being squeezed in the black hole. How about temperatures though?

- Also, does the ability to control gravity imply the possibility to build a tesseract?! Can't see the connection.

- I can accept the time-loop paradox and I can accept that future humans actually need that risk of extinction in the past to occur, in order to trigger the quest for scientific progress that would let them not only continue to exist but also evolve. That would be the reason why "They" didn't just hand out an easy solution to past humans. Still, a plan that involves picking a guy with a genius daughter, have him risk his life multiple times in an interstellar trip, drop him and his robot into a black hole, have him communicating complicated "quantic data" (?) in morse code via a watch, in the hope that his distressed daughter realize how to catch them and then use the,, seems to me a bit far-fetched.



HOWEVER. This is a movie, fiction, a story. I couldn't care less about scientific/ consistency.
Interstellar problems are others (the "love" theme is heavy handed; the pacing at the end below average).
On the other hand, it has awesome visuals, interesting concepts and an intriguing plot, so it is definitely not a bad movie in my book.

[Shade8780]

F*ck, I still haven't seen this. Probably will go Friday or Saturday with friends as we have exams all week.

[Solidape]

Spoiler alert.....



I have a beef with the movie......

How the hell did they survive sling shooting around a black hole given the massive amounts of radiation, x-rays, gamma rays, ultra violet light, all sorts of deadly shit that goes around black holes?

Also the dude floating around Saturn would be cooked crisped by radiation.

[ace23]

I've heard so many good things about this shit lol. I watch maybe a movie a year and am considering checking it out.

[longhornfan1234]

Basically a horrible movie. And please don't bother informing me that I'm too unsophisticated to get it. I get it, that's why I didn't like it. I don't believe I've ever walked out of a movie and hopefully never will, but there were times when I came close.

But there's no doubt the special effects and all that jazz was first rate. The story, the dialogue, the acting was at times painful and cringeworthy to sit through. I believe one critic described the dialogue/acting as at times "toenail extracting", and that seems to capture it well enough.

Needless to say I was disappointed.

[Shade8780]

Just saw it, found it quite enjoyable. I was pretty confused at parts, had to look up some small parts of the plot after, but I didn't really miss too much. I'm still pretty confused on how an equation saved the world though :lol Great movie nonetheless, I enjoyed it. Also, I think Cooper should've died in the end. It seemed a little too unrealistic, but f*ck realism, it's a damn sci-fi movie.

Christopher Nolan is really f*cking good. Can't wait for his next project, should be a great movie like all of his other films.

Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves :oldlol:

[Jasi]

The equation didn't save the world it just let them control gravity so as to make that massive space station take off and escape the Earth.

[Shade8780]

Ah, ok. Thanks.

Everyone on Earth was able to fit on? :eek:

Btw, that soundtrack is beautiful. When they're flying around in space and that chill music is playing in the background :pimp:

[Derka]

Saw it today. Did the IMAX thing for it and it was well worth it for the sound alone.

Pretty good movie...the usual of Nolan's stuffy dialogue, terrific visuals and solid performances. Won't go into too much more to avoid spoilers.

[Lebowsky]

I finally got to see this film last night after months of anticipation. I'm a huge fan of sci-fi, from Philip K. Dick to Heinlein, but my opinion is this film is some beautifully-wrapped garbage. Waste of three hours...

Of course. It's the 21st. best movie of all time, according to imdb...

[El Kabong]

I finally watched it and I was pretty bored with the majority of it. Some good spots here and there, but I find myself enjoying Nolan's work less and less with each passing movie. I think he peaked at The Prestige and Memento is an all-time favourite, but it feels his films get more and more bloated and less and less interesting as a result as they go.

I mean, you certainly can't fault his endeavour, but it feels like he's trying to go bigger and bigger with each movie, but it doesn't necessarily translate into better.

[dunksby]

Which is why I said probably, I believe a lot of people praise this because they bought into its hype and now don't want to admit it. I found your review honest, so this one joins the list of three-hour movies I'm not gonna bother with, just like the Hobbit trilogy.

[~primetime~]

I agree with Lebowsky and El Kabong...I believe I rated this a 6/10 in the rate your last movie thread.

I feel like it's overrated



Nolan needed to chop 30 minutes of it...it's just too long and every scene drags on and on forever. It would have been every bit as good 30 minutes shorter.

[nightprowler10]

I rated it a solid 8/10. Never rewatched it like tons of others but I thought it was great.

You need to know a few things about Physics and the theories of a now dead genius to understand this movie

Hope you're being sarcastic.

[ArbitraryWater]

Hope you're being sarcastic.

It has plotholes but the movie is heavy science, which is why so many questions have been asked about this movie.

The laws of physics were twisted a bit, but overall the movie made sense.

[LJJ]

It has plotholes but the movie is heavy science, which is why so many questions have been asked about this movie.

The laws of physics were twisted a bit, but overall the movie made sense.

That's a gross overstatement. The movie is more grounded in real science than Star Wars, but it's not exactly deep science won't be able to understand if you read an pop science book on the subject. In fact, if you have any interest in the subject at all and paid attention during high school science classes they are all things that will be natural concepts to you.

The thing is though, nobody says the movie is mediocre because of the science. Just like no one cares the science in Star Wars, 2001 or Killer Klowns from Outer Space isn't completely factual science. It's the plot, overall themes and storytelling that makes the movie mediocre, the science behind it is thoroughly irrelevant to the entertainment value of the movie.

[El Kabong]

What are your thoughts on TDK?
It's a solid movie that is absolutely saved by the performance of Heath Ledger. You put that in as only a passable performance and it doesn't work as well. The 2nd half of the film dragged on much too long for me and the ferry scene just grinds the film to a halt and feels like an entirely heavy handed way to get across a simple concept (Joker thinks people will turn on each other if shit gets bad enough, it doesn't happen). Plus the editing feels slightly strange with scenes ending at weird times, mostly involving the Joker.

The Dark Knight Rises suffers from the same problems, but because it didn't have a stand out performance like Ledgers (though I really liked Tom Hardy as Bane and Anne Hathway as Catwoman, one of the few times I did like her in a film) it doesn't receive the same hype. It's still a bloated, overly long mess at times, but still has plenty of good stuff in it.

[Meticode]

I saw this when it first came out and I liked it. Overall, I felt that for you to understand most of the movie you have to understand all instances of time exist together. Time isn't just a straight line that moves forward, all instances of time and what can happen exists simultaneously. We just don't have an understanding of how this is.

I bet you love the Avengers above everything
you don't strike me as a guy who loves great story and and incredible acting. Not one bad performance in TDK, not even an average one.
It has the best villain ever
The best introduction to a villain ever
One of the best stories ever told on screen with great plot twists that make sense.
Zero plotholes
A believable superhero
It could pass for the greatest movie ever for somebody and I couldn't refute it one bit, it's easily a top 10 movie ever if we're being objective

[SexSymbol]

Interstellar was beyond amazing, I've been on the record saying it's the greatest movie ever for me. A believable, great story with a perfect ending and a trademark twist at the end by Nolan. Again, zero plotholes if you actually pay attention to the movie.
I don't know how Nolan does it, but he's an amazing director, only a few directors can be put on his level

[SexSymbol]

The most pivotal moment in that movie involved future humans sending a 5th dimensional bookshelf into a black hole for us to save the world.

Read that sentence above and then try to tell me the movie wasn't stupid.

Fight Club - a guy who invents an incredibly good looking guy in his head to compensate for his boring life to later on become the said guy.
Dark Knight - a man in a bat suit who paints black around his eyes and a guy who paints his whole face to look like a clown go against each other.

You can make even the smartest movies look stupid if you really try to.
The plot of interstellar is the strongest point of the movie, it's an incredible story with a smart ending that explains it all

[Meticode]

The biggest plot-hole to me was going initially going into the black hole. Theoretically you would get "spaghetti-fied" from the theories that are explained even approaching it because of the gravity.

But again, it doesn't really bother me because it's a theory, a lot of the things are represented by believable theory and understanding with a spice of imagination.

Why not? I think it gets held back due to it being a comic book movie. And that's unfair.
Performances are amazing, story is great, directing is flawless, soundtrack is flawless.
There's a few movies that even while being mostly action movies could pass up as someone's greatest ever as in Die Hard, Terminator 2. I seriously feel that when judging movies, we forget to judge the feel of the movie, TDK has that great feel, that Shawshank, Godfather, Usual Suspects have. Just and aura or something, it's hard to explain. Well, maybe it's just me
What Interstellar plotholes can you mention, that haven't been explained on the net?
